Subject: GMO/GE labelling
To whom it may concern:
I am writing you as a concerned US citizen to express my concern in the
strongest possible terms about genetically modified and engineered
foods. The possible long term effects of this technology HAS NOT BEEN
PROVEN SAFE and US citizens have every right to know if the food they
buy off the shelves of our supermarkets contain GMO or GE ingredients.
This should be MANDATORY. It is your department that is charged with
protecting the health of Americans not the interests of shareholders in
the large companies who have invested in this potentially dangerous
technology.
PLEASE READ THE WRITINGS OF DONELLA MEADOWS, PHD FROM DARTMOUTH.
I feel very strongly that the dangers of this technology could be even
greater than that of the nuclear bomb because it is a living reproducing
danger with potential for unseen and unforeseen consequences.
Sincerely,
Kyle F. Hence
